There’s a difference between anti-imperialism and isolationism. Talking about Afghanistan in simple terms of whether we stay or go is not the point. The point is how we spent our time there, and how we leave in a way that helps the most amount of people survive the change.

In any relationship, it’s as important how you leave as how you stay. newyorker.com/news/letter-fr…

Not at all. My pro-Assange activity and more make it clear I’m hardly delusional about US imperialism or war crimes. But the issue of the Taliban’s treatment of women is not faux feminism; it’s huge to me and I don’t apologize for that.

20 years, thousands dead, almost $1T spent & the Taliban is able to overrun the country in a matter of weeks. Women will be as endangered there now as they were before 911. This is a major catastrophe. There must be another way. theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv…
